We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Endpoint Central and Sophos Mobile based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The solution is easy to use."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"What is great about the patch management solution, is that it patches OS, applications, browsers, plug-ins, and firmware updates."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"Very good, functional solution for endpoint management."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution's stability is better than the other solutions in the market."
"The stability is very good."
"We can scale the product."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"Sophos can block the Wi-Fi connection on a mobile device. That's one feature we wanted, but the main thing is the ability to disable the device if it's lost or stolen. We need to shut down PayPal, so it can't be used to make unauthorized purchases."
"They always add more features to this product."
"The security features work well."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Technical support is not that great."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"The solution is expensive."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is very limited. When you scan your system, it will only recognize Microsoft Windows Defender and BitLocker."
"The product must provide more API integrations with different ERP tools."
"The solution isn't fully stable, and, when it goes down, it's hard to get it up and running."
"The tool's security can be better."
"I would like to see them include the ability to find out the network usage but I believe that might be a feature of it already."
"Our support reps are based in the Philippines, and it's hard to connect with them sometimes. It took me about two months to resolve my issue, so it wasn't a good experience."
"They continue to work on integration with mobile device management and mobile security. They are improving the protection but I think that the capabilities still need to be enhanced."
"We have experienced issues in updating iOS devices when we set a minimum version requirement policy, and we do not have the option to force automatic installation. This means that the device must be supervised in order for updates to be applied, which we would like to see improved."
"The setup should be made easier."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"In terms of what could be improved, the initial configuration and setup of the environment could probably be made a little bit easier. There are so many pieces that go into it. Intune is absolutely insane and Sophos is better, but it still is a bit complex to get it all set up correctly."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
